Pokémon League [Japanese: ポケモンリーグ, English: Pokemon_League]
[Merging the power of humans and Pokémon into one, it is called the Pokémon Alliance.] 】
————————————————————
Country Profile:
The Pokémon Alliance was established on September 21, 602 in the Elven calendar, with a history of more than 400 years, and is the most powerful federal form of government in the world today.
Its territory is very large, with a total land area of more than one-third of the world's land area. This includes the Kanto region, Johto region, Hoenn region, Sinnoh region, United Forces, Carlos region, Shichishima, and Orange Islands, as well as the Fiore region, Almia region, and Oplibya region of the Guardian Alliance Autonomous Region.
The national flag is a Pokéball with a white pattern on a red background.
The capital of the Pokémon League is the city of Mihara, located in the Kanto region, in the Quartz Plateau.
National History:
1. Founding period (EL602–710)
At the beginning of its establishment, it was called the Elven Alliance, and its territory was only in the two regions of today's Kanto and Johto, and it continued to expand its rule in the subsequent wars. In 643 of the Elven calendar, it was renamed the Pokémon League, and in the same year, it began to vigorously promote the use of Pokémon Balls.
The Pokémon Alliance advocates the idea of valuing the power of Pokémon and valuing the relationship between humans and Pokémon. The Alliance forbade citizens from hunting Pokémon for food, treating Pokémon as friends of humanity - a concept that was very foreign to its early days.
The existence of Pokéballs laid the foundation for the domination of the early days of the League. The first mandarin fruit balls date back 400 to 700 years, and the Pokémon League was the first to realize the value of this technology, using national power to monopolize this technology and cut off its way to other countries. Based on this technology, the Pokémon League worked tirelessly on the technology to rapidly produce and mass-produce Pokémon balls, which according to historical records were a time when ball-making craftsmen flourished.
At the same time, the Pokémon League promotes the profession of "trainer" among the people. Unlike the traditional concept of "Warcraft" and "Elven Messenger", the meaning of the trainer is not to put shackles on Pokémon and turn them into weapons that have to obey orders, but to establish a relationship of equality and mutual assistance with Pokémon and fight together. Undoubtedly, compared to traditional forcible manipulation, the trainer's emotional-based way of getting along is more likely to be recognized by Pokémon, and it is also easier to stimulate Pokémon's powerful power.
"The most appropriate relationship between a trainer and a Pokémon is a partner" is a concept that the Pokémon Alliance has continued since that era.
In order to make the concept of trainer more popular with the public, the Pokémon League has adjusted the relevant social welfare measures for this profession and held a grand tournament to promote the enthusiasm of the people.
Although the Mandarin Fruit Ball at that time had the disadvantages of high cost and long time, this measure still set off a trend of national trainers in the society at that time, and teenagers led by children of wealthy families gathered to respond, marking the first step in the Pokémon Alliance to reach an inseparable partnership with Pokémon.
On June 21, 649 in the Elven calendar, the first official league of the Pokémon League, the Quartz League Tournament kicked off in the city of Mihara on the Quartz Plateau, which marked the beginning of the national trainer boom. To this day, this craze has not been extinguished, and it is still pushing many young people to move forward on the road to trainers.
Trainer means the highest force in society at that time. With a powerful army of trainers, the Pokémon Alliance began to expand its territory in 656 in the Elven calendar, and nearly tripled its territory in less than fifty years, and the regions of Hoen, Sinnoh, United Forces, and Carlos were included in the territory of the Pokémon Alliance, laying a solid foundation for the future to become the strongest federal government in the world.
In the nearly 100 years since the establishment of the Pokémon Alliance, due to the continuous wars and tensions around the world, it is also known as the "Hundred Years of Turmoil".
2. Development period (EL710–898)
After a century of turmoil, the world situation has entered a brief period of calm. At this time, countries around the world have realized the importance of Pokéball and trainers, and have concentrated their efforts on developing Pokéball technology and training trainers in their own countries. This was the beginning of a worldwide boom in trainers.
In the year 783, after the Second Industrial Revolution, the world entered the electric age, which brought about a huge increase in productivity and creativity. In the year 790 of the Elven calendar, a new way to control Pokémon, the "Crystal Scepter", was introduced. Starting from the current Fiore region, the former Fiore Kingdom, it spread to neighboring countries.
In the year 825 of the Elven calendar, more than a dozen countries led by the Kingdom of Fiore signed a contract to become a new alliance system of government, the "Guardian Alliance", and began a confrontation with the Pokémon Alliance in various aspects such as military and economic. The vast Pokémon Alliance is facing local armed conflicts from different directions, and is mired in a dilemma of insufficient military power and resources.
The Guardian League has a level of technology that is not inferior to the Pokémon League, and once had the upper hand in military battles. The Pokémon League did everything they could to barely contain local conflicts and not expand too much, often winning more than they lost in crossfires on the border.
The pressure is particularly great on coastal cities in the Kanto and Johto regions. The city of Withered Leaves in the Kanto region was once occupied by the Guardian Alliance, and there are still many foreign-style buildings and customs in the city.
In the year 871 of the Elven calendar, a new type of Pokéball, which can be mass-produced, was introduced. This invention greatly solves the shortcomings of the complex production process of mandarin orange fruit balls, which takes a lot of time and manpower, and completes the feat of industrializing and streamlining the production of Pokéball balls.
The evolution of armaments means the increase of military strength. Due to the low cost of the new Pokéball ball, the trainer is no longer an aristocratic profession and has truly entered the civilian life of thousands of households. According to statistics, after the advent of the new Pokémon Ball, the number of registered trainers in the Pokémon League has increased by more than three hundred percent compared to before, which is undoubtedly a huge and terrifying force.
Taking this as an opportunity, the Pokémon Alliance expanded its army and strengthened its military strength, and after recovering Withered Leaf City through military pressure and other means, the Pokémon Alliance waited for an opportunity to intensify the border conflict. The flames of war were ignited and spread all over the world.
In the year 898 of the Elven calendar, the Restadat Raid and Defense announced the collapse of the Guardian Alliance. At present, the three major regions of the Guardian Alliance are included in the territory of the Pokémon Alliance.
In order to achieve a peaceful and stable development strategy, the Pokémon Alliance retains the name and part of the authority of the "Guardian Alliance" in these three regions, and grants a certain amount of political freedom while restricting it, and implements a strategy of separate governance.
The dissolution of the Guardian League marks the peak of the Pokémon Alliance's national power, officially becoming the strongest federal government in the world. And the war between the Pokémon League and the Guardian Alliance was later called the period of "bipolar war".
3. The Stronghold (EL898–Present)
In the year 950 of the elven calendar, the discovery of the new material gray crystal marked the beginning of another leap in the world's scientific and technological level. With this as a starting point, the Pokémon Alliance created a supercomputer with tens of thousands of times more computing power than previous computers, and as a result, developed sophisticated laser weapons, space jumping devices, and more.
In the year 953 of the Elven calendar, the three kingdoms of the Somyana Plain formed the Northern Alliance, announcing that they had found "the most correct way to control Pokémon", and resisted Pokéball balls, harassing the northern border of the Pokémon Alliance, and small conflicts continued.
In the year 958 of the Elven calendar, the construction of the global three-dimensional positioning imaging guidance system (alias Skynet) was completed. In the year 960 of the Elven calendar, based on Skynet's guidance ability, the ultra-long-range heavy strategic laser sniper system (alias Damocles), a super weapon was born in the Pokémon League.
In the year 976 of the Elven calendar, the conflict on the northern border escalated and evolved into a vicious incident that could not be controlled. The first successful launch of the superweapon Damocles was carried out, with the capital of the Northern Alliance as the center, and a radius of hundreds of miles was razed to the ground.
The debut of this superweapon shocked the world. The invention and successful launch of Damocles marked the official establishment of the Pokémon Alliance's unshakable position in the world.
In the year 980, the Northern Alliance dissolved. Later, the border with the Kingdom of Paraçao, one of the three northern kingdoms, continued to be violent and intensified. In the year 986 of the Elven calendar, the Kingdom of Paraso announced the severance of all diplomatic relations with the Pokémon Alliance, and the contradictions between the two sides have become irreconcilable. The following year, the Pokémon Alliance declared war on the kingdom of Paraso, and the two countries entered a state of war.
The war lasted for two years, and the Pokémon Alliance paid a great price, completely annihilating the kingdom of Paraso, and slaughtering all citizens with the physiognomy of its royal people. This battle was later known as the "Battle of Annihilation of Somiana".
Since the end of the war in 989 A.D., the world situation has eased somewhat, and large-scale armed conflicts have basically ceased to occur. Despite the considerable human and financial losses, this battle has established an inviolable image for the Pokémon League internationally, and its impact is far-reaching.
